                    components is a list of strings that represent index
                        entry levels. This characteristic is not
                        inherited and shall be specified. page-number? is a boolean specifying whether this
                        index entry should contain page number
                        information. This characteristic is not
                        inherited. The default is #t. sort-string is either #f, specifying that this index
                        entry's components should be used for
                        sorting the index, or a string that
                        should be used for sorting. This
                        characteristic is not inherited. The
                        default is #f. starts-page-range? is a boolean specifying whether the index
                        entry starts a page range. This
                        characteristic is not inherited. The
                        default is #f. ends-page-range? is a boolean specifying whether the index
                        entry starts a page range. This

                | On Windows platforms, this can
                be used to embed OLE objects, by making the the

                formal system identifier whose storage manager isCLSIDand whose storage object
                identifier is the COM CLSID (including
                surrounding braces). The system identifier may
                also be just<CLSID>(that is,
                the storage object identifier may be empty); in
                this case, the OLE default CLSID for the file (usually
                chosen based on the file's extension) will be
                used. |

                    Value is a length, specifying the

		 Back to top Many DSSSL characteristics cannot
        be implemented in RTF. The backend does the best it can.  In order to get correct page
        numbers in Microsoft Word, type the following after
        opening the document:  
            CTRL+END CTRL+A F9  In Word Viewer 97, you must instead
        do:  
            CTRL+END ALT V N ALT V P  Page numbers also get updated
        automatically when you print.  We also ship a perl script 
        contrib/rtf2docfor this purpose. The RTF backend supports some
        additional characteristics. To use a characteristic named
        here as C, declare it usingdeclare-characteristicwith the public identifier: "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Characteristic::C"
 
            heading-levelValue is an integer. It
                applies to paragraph flow objects. If the value
                is between 1 and 9, then the paragraph is output
                as a header of this level, otherwise it is output
                as body text. Using this characteristic allows
                Word to provide useful outline views and a
                document map. (Note that Word's handling of
                document maps for RTF documents is buggy: if you
                load an RTF document, and the previous document
                was using the Online Layout view, then RTF will
                attempt to guess what paragraphs are headings,
                which it will almost always do wrong. To avoid
                this, switch to the Normal view before loading an
                RTF document.) The initial value is 0page-number-formatValue is a string as for
                format-number procedure. This controls the format
                of the number used by page-number-sosofo and
                current-page-number-sosofo for references to
                pages in the simple-page-sequence. The initial
                value is "1". It applies
                to simple-page-sequence flow objects.page-number-restart?Value is a boolean. If true,
                then for the purposes of page-number-sosofo and
                current-page-number-sosofo, the page numbers for
                this simple-page-sequence will restart from 1.
                The initial value is #f. It applies
                to simple-page-sequence flow objects.page-n-columnsValue is a strictly positive
                integer, specifying the number of columns. The
                initial value is 1. It applies to simple-page-sequence
                flow objects. page-column-sepValue is a length, specifying
                the separation between columns. The initial value
                is .5in. It applies to simple-page-sequence
                flow objects.page-balance-columns?Value is a boolean. If true,
                the columns on the final page of the page-sequence
                should be balanced. The initial value is #f.
                It applies to simple-page-sequence flow objects.superscript-heightValue is a length. Specifies
                the height of the baseline of a superscript above
                its parent's baseline. It applies to superscript
                and script flow objects. subscript-depthValue is a length. Specifies
                the depth of the baseline of a subscript below
                its parent's baseline. It applies to subscript
                and script flow objects. over-mark-heightValue is a length. Specifies
                the height of the baseline of the contents of the
                over-mark area of a mark flow object above the
                baseline of the contents of the main area. It
                also controls the height of the contents of the
                mid-sup area of the script flow object. It
                applies to mark and script flow objects. under-mark-depthValue is a length. Specifies
                the depth of the baseline of the contents of the
                under-mark area of a mark flow object below the
                baseline of the contents of the main area. It
                also controls the depth of the contents of the
                mid-sub area of the script flow object. It
                applies to mark and script flow objects. grid-row-sepValue is a length. Specifies
                the separation between rows of a grid flow object.
                grid-column-sepValue is a length. Specifies
                the separation between columns of a grid flow
                object.  |
